HONG KONG -- HSBC Asset Management Chief Executive Paul Chow is set to be named chief executive of Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd., or HKEx, at next week's annual general meeting, a person close to the exchange said.

Mr. Chow, a former stock exchange chief executive, would succeed K.C. Kwong, whose term ends Tuesday, and who came under criticism in July for a proposal to delist low-price stocks.
